The Florida Hometown Heroes Housing Program makes homeownership affordable for eligible community workforce.

Eligible Borrowers who meet the occupational requirements, work full time, and are currently employed by a Florida-based employer can receive competitive market interest rates on an FHA, VA, RD, and Conventional first mortgage, reduced upfront fees, no origination points or discount points and down payment and closing cost assistance.

Borrowers can receive up to 5% of the total first mortgage loan amount (maximum of $35,000/minimum of $10,000) in down payment and closing cost assistance. Down payment and closing cost assistance is available in the form of a 0%, non-amortizing, 30-year deferred second mortgage. This second mortgage becomes due and payable, in full, upon sale of the property, refinancing of the first mortgage, transfer of deed or if the homeowner no longer occupies the property as his/her primary residence. The Florida Hometown Heroes loan is not forgivable.
